Volunteering is a great way you can support your local community and we would love to hear from anyone keen to take on an active role within the club.
Every little helps and in some cases you don't even need to know anything about hockey!
Volunteering for Young People (including Duke of Edinburgh Award participants)
We are especially keen to hear from Duke of Edinburgh participants who may be interested in completing your Volunteer or Skill portion with us.
You might be interested in becoming an Assistant Coach for our Sunday Morning Junior Academy. Or choose to develop a new skill as one of our technical officials or youth umpires.
Perhaps you have a younger sibling taking part and would offer a little of your time to support us at events, games and tournaments.
In 2022 several juniors even had the opportunity to perform in the Birmingham Commonwealth Games as ball collectors and flag bearers (read our news story here).
